After your EasyApache build completes, the Configure PHP and suEXEC interface appears. To use the mod_fcgid Apache module to handle PHP requests, select the fcgi option for your PHP handler.

Note:

You can also select your PHP handler in WHM'sConfigure PHP and suEXEC interface (Home >> Service Configuration >> Configure PHP and suEXEC). For more information on how to select a PHP handler, read the Related documentation section.

The following text is an excerpt from the Apache's website:

Any program assigned to the handler fcgid-script is processed using the FastCGI protocol; mod_fcgid starts a sufficient number instances of the program to handle concurrent requests, and these programs remain running to handle further incoming requests. This is significantly faster than using the default mod_cgior mod_cgidmodules to launch the program upon each request. However, the programs invoked by mod_fcgidcontinue to consume resources, so the administrator must weigh the impact of invoking a particular program once per request against the resources required to leave a sufficient number of instances running continuously.
